Anyone picking this up? Reviews are much better than I expected. Plot: Quote: Enslaved is a story set 150 years in the future where a global war has ravaged the Earth. In this future, nearly the entire human race has been eradicated, but robots still plague the land. Although they are from a bygone era, they are still following their orders to eradicate the humans. The storyline is loosely based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West. The main character in the game is called Monkey. He has spent his entire life running from the mechs and is a solitary man. Eventually Monkey is captured by the combat mechs, where he is placed on an airship. It is there that he meets a technologically adept woman named Trip. Although they both escape the airship, Monkey gets knocked unconscious when crashing to the ground. When he comes to, he finds that Trip has placed a slaver's headband on him in order to compel him to help her get home. She explains that she has hacked the headband so she can give him jolts of pain at will; and further that if Trip's heart ever stops then the headband will kill Monkey outright. As they try to make their way back to Trip's village they must fight mechs that have been lying dormant for years. The two of them have a strained relationship but in order to survive this perilous world they need each other's help. Screens: Spoiler: |

Interesting, never heard of Journey to the West. But, I love this: Quote: Enslaved is a story set 150 years in the future where a global war has ravaged the Earth. In this future, nearly the entire human race has been eradicated, but robots still plague the land. Although they are from a bygone era, they are still following their orders to eradicate the humans. The storyline is loosely based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West. All I could think of was, "They had robots in ancient China? Cool!" Then, of course, I see from Wikipedia that the story was probably written in the late 16th century. That's not really what I think of when I hear "ancient." Old, yes, but not ancient. Sounds like a fun game, though. |

So I finally started playing this game and it's really good. On the short side and not much replayability, but I almost want to say this is a required action game for any fans of the genre. |

Apparently they got Wakka from FF X for the lead in this game. |

It's like Waka (looks) plus Goku (gear) plus John Marston (attitude). |

It is nothing like Journey to the West. It's not even like Pride and Prejudice, and Zombies. |
